Preparing the Lure

The next installment of Jimmy Kiley's movie making exploits - Preparing the Lure - is up at Spinetingler. The first three can be found at:

King Canute - Powder Burn Flash
On a High Wire - Flash Fiction Offensive
Infrared Dead - Shotgun Honey

I've sent off the next 'movie', so hopefully that might be published in the next few weeks.

Bite-sized, delicious crime nuggets

I spent the morning catching up with reading some short noir and hardboiled stories. There's some really good stuff out there. For those interested try these e-zines. All free. All top notch. All take submissions (though some are closed at the minute).

A Twist of Noir
Beat to a Pulp
Crime Factory
Dirty Noir
Flash Fiction Offensive
Plots With Guns
Powder Burn Flash
Pulp Metal Magazine
Spinetingler
Shotgun Honey
Thrillers, Chillers and Killers

Whilst not confined to noir Flash Fiction Friday is an interesting site. Every week it puts up a fresh flash fiction challenge.

My plan for the next few months is to try and get one story a month off to some of these great sites. Check them out. Loads of bite-sized, delicious crime nuggets.
